    of a structure or whole as by product of
    cell division and multiplication.

    B. Development- is the increase in the


    skills or capacity to function.
    DEFINITIONS OF TERMS
    C. Maturation – is used synonymously with
    development; also known as readiness.

    D. Cognitive Development – increases in


    abilities to solve problems, to understand and
    apply learning experience, to accommodate
    knowledge and adapt to practical settings, and
    dexterity to handle new situations.
    Parameters of Growth
    • Weight- is the most sensitive indicator of
    growth especially low birth weight.

    Doubles by 5to 6months


    Triples by 12months
    Quadruples by 2-21/2 years
    Parameters of Growth
    • Height- is measured in inches, feet, or
    centimeters.

    Increases by 1inch per month in the 1st


    6months and by ½ per month from age
    7to12 months
    Weight & Height Growth
    1. How to measure development?
    • By directly observing the child performances;
    • By noting parent’s description of the child
    progress;
    • By DDST (Denver Developmental Screening
    Test); In the Philippines, it is modified as MDST
    (Metro Manila Developmental Screening Test)
    Metro Manila Developmental Screening
    Test
    • is a presumptive identification of possibly
    unrecognized disease or developmental
    defects through the application of test and
    procedures which can be done quickly. It is
    designed to recognize developmental delays in
    children ages 2 weeks to 6 ½ years old. In this
    test, four aspects of the child are evaluated:
    personal-social, language, fine motor
    adaptive, and gross motor behavior.
    2. 4 Main Rated Categories of DDST
    1. Language – ability of the child to
    communicate.
    2. Personal Social – ability of the child to
    interact.
    3. Fine Motor Adaptive – the prehensile ability
    or the ability to use hand movements
    4. Gross Motor Skills – the ability to use large
    movements.
